Attract Women With Pheromones

Believe it or not, scent has a lot to do with your attraction to and for the opposite sex. I'm not talking about the Calvin Klein or Donna Karan varieties; every species emits potent chemical signals that can have profound effects on the same species that surround them.

Have you ever noticed a guy who, although not extremely good-looking or highly stimulating, seems to attract women by the dozens? Chances are that his naturally occurring pheromone release is higher and more detectable than yours.

what are pheromones?

Pheromones have been detected in every species from insects to reptiles as sex attractants. Basically, pheromones are subconscious sex signals. A specialized structure located inside the nose called the VNO (Vomeronasal Organ) detects these invisible airborne and odorless pheromone molecules that may occur through sweat or urine, for example. However, the VNO organ exists in only about 80% of humans. Some scientists have rendered the organ useless due to its disuse over the centuries. But researchers beg to differ.

Pheromone signals that are sensed by the organ are then sent through certain nerves to a part of the brain called the "hypothalamus" — a part that's known for its capacity to alter one's emotions, hormones, reproduction and, of course, sexual behavior.

can pheromones make you hot?

The simple, or not-so simple, answer to whether or not human pheromones can make you more attractive is "maybe." Although researchers at the University of Utah and the University of Chicago discovered that pheromones can alter mood, breathing, heart rate, and body temperature, whether or not they can make someone horny baby (yeah!), has yet to be proven.

And because most of us usually wash off our naturally occurring pheromones, and then opt to further hinder them by dousing ourselves in cologne, chances are no one's getting a whiff of your sex scents.

But certain companies, like Pherx.com, have managed to capture pheromones in a bottle. It's been proven that everyone emits pheromones; some emit more, some less, but because of our hygiene habits, they're usually very minimal and likely undetectable by women's VNOs.

And although the pheromones captured in the bottle are not exactly that of humans, they are chemically synthesized to mimic human emissions of the molecules. Some pheromone manufacturers opt to use naturally occurring pheromones from pigs or deer, but those would only be effective in attracting that species and are therefore rendered useless.
